A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the renewal of certain expired licenses or
registrations.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Sections 37.006(f) and (g), Water Code, are
amended to read as follows:
(f) A person whose license or registration has been expired
for 60 [30] days or less may apply for renewal of the license or
registration by paying to the commission a renewal fee in an amount
prescribed by commission rule not to exceed 1-1/2 times the
normally required renewal fee.
(g) A person whose license or registration has been expired
for more than 60 [30] days may not renew the license or
registration. The person may obtain a new license or registration
by complying with the requirements and procedures, including the
examination requirements, for obtaining an original license or
registration.
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies to the
renewal of a license or registration that expires on or after the
effective date of this Act. A license or registration that expires
before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in
effect on the date the license or registration was issued, and the
former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2009.
